What
is 'The Priesthood of all Believers'?Jesus
explained that, to
God, all Christians are equal. We are all one in
Christ. This
tells us that if one Christian is a cow, all Christians are cows; if
one
is a priest, all Christians are priest. It also is a misnomer
and
should be 'The Priesthood of all Christians' as a believer is not
necessarily
a person whom has surrendered to Christ, turned from fornication and
has
been Baptized, but is a mere believer, not necessarily a
follower.
This is that
'symbolic priesthood quote' by Paul, which the Catholic Church used to
create their men-made priesthood, among which there is much filth. They
made a vain attempt to steal it from the Christians, awarding it to
their
priesthood of men: but then preachers preached, and the bible was
translated
and printed, and all could read the truth.

Read Peter 1 completely
and see that he writes to the people/believers/Christians:PE1
1: 1
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered
throughout
Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, ..

About Christ and the Priesthood:1
Peter 2:5-9Peter:
"You also, as living
stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to
offer
up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. But you
are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own
special
people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of
darkness into His marvellous light".Note,
these lines were written
to Christians, referring to Christians, not to clergy!

PE1 2: 9 But
ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a
peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath
called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;PE1 2: 10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

Here we read that all people
who believe, repent and baptize into the church of Christ become Christians and are
holy.
But we know that there is nothing that walked the earth that is greater
than Christ, and that Christ never referred to him self as a priest,
but
placed his self above the priest, and never taught anything of a
priesthood,
but taught Christianity.

And remember not to believe the Roman Catholic Farce that Peter was the first Pope. Peter never entered Rome!

...And The
Gates Of Hell Shall Not Prevail Against ItThrough
the ages Catholics
and other Nicolaitans tried to defy the above quotation by Jesus,
oppressing
and murdering many, deceiving and misleading many more, but they have
not
and shall not prevail against 'His Church'.
